Django App installation throws error require_debug_false

Question

I worked on an django-based website locally. I have Django 1.5.4 installed on my machine. Now I wanted to test the site on pythonanywhere. They only support Django 1.3 and Django 1.6, but I read that versions greater than 1.3 should work under 1.6 (Reusing Django apps in own project wich require a lower django version)

On calling syncdb I get an error:

File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>
   execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 429, in execute_from_command_line
   utility.execute()

ValueError: Unable to configure filter 'require_debug_false': Cannot resolve 'django.utils.log.RequireDebugFalse': No module named RequireDebugFalse

I read some issues about 'require_debug_false' but didn't find a solution. What do I have to change to use my Django-project under Django 1.6?

Check virtualenv:

With the virtualenv you can work with differents versions of django in your machine
